Nursing Stool- Please help...

cheerbuddyloves · February 2011

Are they necessary? I have a glider and told DH I needed one based on books, reviews, and the fact that I am so short my feet dangle in the chair. Please help.

I don't have one. When DD was first born I laid on the couch & propped a pillow up behind me so I was sitting to BF. Once I healed & she was still really little & sat indian style with the boppy or BF pillow to BF. Once she was bigger I just sit normally with the boppy of BF or I put my feet up on the ottoman.

Yes, since you are short, you should get a stool. It will help lift up your legs to form a lap and be much more comfortable when BF (you can put your boppy or a pillow in your lap to help also). Otherwise you may hunch over to baby and have back pain. It helps to bring I have one from either buy buy baby or BRU and it was about $25. You can just use a regular stool too. I'm tall and I found it helpful.
